verily verily i say unto you

oh, what a savior that he died for me!
from condemnation he hath made me free;
“he that believeth on the son,” said he,
“hath everlasting life.”

refrain

“verily, verily, i say unto you;
verily, verily,” message ever new!
“he that believeth on the son” ’tis true!
“hath everlasting life!”

all my iniquities on him were laid,
all my indebtedness by him was paid;
all who believe on him, the lord hath said,
“hath everlasting life.”

refrain

though poor and needy, i can trust my lord;
though weak and sinful i believe his word;
o glad message! every child of god
“hath everlasting life.”

refrain

though all unworthy, yet i will not doubt;
for him that cometh he will not cast out:
“he that believeth,” oh, the good news shout!
“hath everlasting life.”

refrain
